REPORTAGE - Bergkarabach von Polaris
December 19, 2006, Stepanakert, Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan: The Republic of Nagorno Karabakh (NKR) began its secession from Azerbaijan during the final years of the Soviet Union. The breakaway war with Azerbaijan ended in 1994 with an estimated 30,000 dead and nearly 750,000 displaced. While a fragile cease-fire still stands, there is yet to be a peace agreement, leaving the official status of Nagorno Karabakh in a state of limbo. Although it is not recognized by a single nation, the NKR maintains all the governmental trappings of a sovereign state, with an elected president, cabinet, parliament and military.///Unemployed Karabakhi men play backgammon..

Science declares war on the common cold.
Under the direction of the Ministry of Health, in collaboration with the Medical Research Council, a special unit is investigating the mysteries of the common cold at Harvard Hospital, near Salisbury, in the most comprehensive investigation into the common cold yet undertaken in this country. Volunteers, who live in pairs in attractive self-contained flats, are helping the doctors in their work, at present confined to discovering elementary facts about the germ which causes colds. The National Panel is asking for volunteers who are ready to spend 10 days with the research unit under conditions prescribed by the experimental work entailed.
Photo shows, Mr and Mrs L Adamson, of Hull, volunteers at Harvard Hospital, collecting their food, which is delivered to their flat in a thermos flask, untouched by outside contacts to insure that no alien germs reach the 'guinea pigs' while undergoing tests.

After the virus has been dropped up the nose of the guinea-pig, he or she is isolated from everyone except the matron and doctor to allow for incubation to take place free from infection from an ourside source, but visitors are allowed provided they wear a special protective hood during the call.
Photo shows, Mr and Mrs L Adamson, of Hull, volunteers at the Harvard Hospital, receiving a visitor in their flat, who wears the protective hood. The matron, Miss Barbara Rae of Beccles looks on.
